Not likely to succeed, as it would be contrary to policy in the ARIN region.
I can't see how stating "we are the masters of all american IP addresses!" can give you a legal claim on something assigned before ARIN existed, unless the holder either voluntarily accepts that claim, or had a contract with IANA/InterNIC that stated "should an American RIR emerge one day, these address blocks automatically fall under their policy". So - assuming no contract exists, what can you *do* if someone wants to transfer their Space to an entity in RIPE land? "Refuse to remove their database entry"? "Bully the RIPE NCC to not add a database entry?" Your stick is small... Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
